Thought for a while about having a 9.3x62. Seems like a fun and useful round.

Actually picked up a Sako L61r in 30-06 some time ago to have re- chambered/bored to 9.3. Haven't done it yet. The thing is, I just kinda want an old Mauser for it. They just look "right" and I ain't ever had an old Mauser.

That said. I know next to nothing about the varied Mauser actions. Guesing Large ring? See lots of builds on VZ24's. Lots of actions refered to as 98's and 1909's.

Saw a " Erfurt 1918 98 " for sale? Good candidate?
